Business question from Brian Iddon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 May 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

An audit of hepatitis C health care in England was published this week by the all-party group on hepatology, and it shows that diagnosis and treatment of the disease are a matter of chance. An estimated 400,000 people are carrying the disease, the vast majority of whom do not know that they are carriers. That represents a health time bomb. Will my right hon. Friend draw the report to the attention of the Secretary of State for Health? May we also have a statement in the House on the Government’s delivery of the hepatitis C strategy and their action plan?
